I said I would post every day, and this probably won't get saved until tomorrow so I already missed out. I can weasel and say 30 days = 30 posts and get away with it.
The reason I posted so much about setting goals and cascading them to objectives is because so much activity seems to be simply for activity's sake, and not to support some larger mission in life. (What's it all about, Alfie?)
I was hoping by writing down all of those terms and specifics, I would be able to define my own outlook and goals. I did do a lot of reorganizing of my personal items last night so maybe it did some good.
One of the things that had always stymied me about goal-setting, etc was that the goals seemed so arbitrary - "make a bazillion dollars", etc. They seemed so plucked out of a hat, so MTV-driven.
For me, looking at this in terms of feelings seemed to help a lot - instead of asking myself "what do I want", I asked myself "how do I want to feel? Who am I?"
I don't know what it will do in the long run but for now it seemed to help.
A good book in this field is "I Don't Know What I Want, But I Know It's Not This" by Julie Jansen. It has tests, etc that try to identify some personality traits and interests that might be useful to you in your job search.
3 down, 27 to go.
